Just Roll With It.

One thing I've learned--especially in the last few weeks, is to just "roll" with things. Things come up. Things supersede plans that have been in place--sometimes for a while. Sometimes you just have to cancel on people. (Unless you make a habit of it, they will understand.) Sometimes you just have to drop everything and run, and find plane tickets for people on the fly and coordinate massive efforts, with a few hour's notice.

Sometimes the chips fall into place, sometimes they don't. I am currently waiting on one particular chip to fall into place, and then we can worry about Chips 2, 3, and 4.

And if they all fall, I will have "rolled with it" and it will have all worked out.

I'm not particularly fond of rolling. It stresses me out. But if the end result is good, then I must roll.

It's always when the roll depends on other people coming through and you can't control it where it gets really frustrating.

Hang in there.
